Crossroads Children's Mental Health Centre (CCMHC) provides mental health services to families and children under the age of 12. Research tells us that when a child’s behavior is challenging, it’s often because they lack the thinking skills to help them manage frustration tolerance and problem solving – much the same way that children with learning disabilities struggle in areas like reading or math. Crossroads staff are trained to identify which skills are lacking and uses the Collaborative Problem Solving approach to teach them these skills. This is done in increments the child can handle.
We specialize in behavioral problems and mental health concerns such as aggression, impulsivity, poor social skills, anxiety, sadness, depression, fear, and suicidal thoughts.
Our services are responsive to your cultural, racial and ethnic interests. Your diversity is valued and acknowledged, and CCMHC will be responsive to those needs in planning and delivering services. Crossroads is a Positive Space where Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Pansexual, Genderqueer, etc. (LGBTQ+) children and their families are able to access culturally inclusive services with dignity and respect. Our staff work free from discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
We believe in always being the best we can be. Our practices are informed by research and evidence. We work hard to ensure that our services utilize best practices and produce good outcomes. We do extensive program evaluation that we would be happy to share with you.
